thanks for the offer to look after the car for me.....

i have 100mph taped my missus legs together as to prevent pre-mature birth of children so i can make it. She has to pee through straw lol.

Have organised a spot with Abo, so im in.

Not really unless the event is sold out Stu, in which case one of the reserves pays you.

In any case enter, I am happy to do some laps to make sure the car is OK and I'm sure I can find other people to help if required.

Ben, not yet, we will keep it for members only a little longer before opening it up to non members. But like wakefield it will be cheaper to join the club and pay member price than to pay non-member price :(

iain no probs just give me the keys and we can talk between turns 10 and 1

Mate no probs at all.... please feel free to take it for a drive!! Get some valuable input in to how it feels to an 'experienced' driver :) Must warn you thou everyone else who has steered it thinks its a pig of a car (including Geroge Midekei)... but i think they are all expecting too much out of it... it may look pretty but it certainly doesnt drive that way :(

But yes you can gasbag in my ear as i am ploding around GP!!!!

Are we able to get the rules, and a list of people posted in the first post of this thread, and exactly what is required on the day, for those of us who have paid membership, but haven't yet got the rights to view the member area?

Thanks.

Hey Iain, go easy on the Silvia...you may make it upset :)

I'm trying to sort out membership and payment for this day so can someone let us know how many spots are left?

with the times your doing on the track, nobody could call that car a pig....makes me regret selling it even more :P .... but then again maybe you're a "fully sick" driver and she may have not peformed like that for me ????

Anyway, I'm glad she went to a nice, caring guy like you . :( .... (and I mean that in a brotherly love, non-gay way )

ahahahah i luaghed hard!! All good bruva she knows she is in good hands :P

Look i will be the first to admit, I am glad i bought your car!! You did a brilliant job getting it setup, i just point the thing in the right direction :banana: Just sorry you never got a chance to track it beforehand!

Anyways how are the upgrades going on the EVO??? lol, shopping list already started? New brakes? Some semi are most important IMO :P

Just make sure you have fun!

Yeah, I need new rotors, better brake pads and some "real" semi's. The stock EVO suspension is ok but it rolls around a little it and pitches real hard when hard braking so swaybars and stiffer shocks will be help. But having said all that, I don't know if I'll spend the money right now :laugh:

They are all cops. Though i've never felt they lacked anything major and they are really predictable. Maybe i've only ever driven well sorted examples (with mine being the obvious exception)?

It's interesting though. Has anyone given any more constructive comments? Too stiff? Too soft?, too much roll? blah blah blah?

It's obviously working reasonably well as it doesn't have a heap of power to make up for slow cornering.

Sup Dave! Yes plenty of constructive comments. The reason it is a dog to drive is due to my slackness.... It hasnt had an alignment (+5mm toe out on rear right, incorrect camber etc etc) i have 2 flat spotted semis on the rears which provide plenty of vibration, 'skipping' from the rear and a suspected stoofed coilover (leaking) on front left..... So the core of the car is perfect, just a few things that i havent address in the last couple of months due to $$$$$$$$$$ which affect its handling and drivability/predictability.

Ando, those coilovers are still under warranty, 2 years or 40,000kms. If u reckon one is leaking, chase them up. Or, we can go to where i bought them from and see if they can handle the warranty claim.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
